Credit Risk, Capital Structure, and the Pricing of Equity Options: Hanke, Michael: 9783211005200: Book: Business & Economics: eCampus.com

Option pricing in firm-value-based ("structural") credit risk models is addressed in this book. Using modern techniques instead of directly solving partial differential equations (the main approach in the literature), closed-form pricing formulae for options on equity are derived for a range of well-known models. A common feature of these models is the assumption of an exogenously given firm value process, which leads to an endogenous stock price process that depends directly on the firm's capital structure. This allows for the study of credit risk effects in option prices and option price changes resulting from changes in a firm's capital structure. Numerical results illustrate the implications of these credit risk models.
